you just gently pry the whole panel out with a screwdriver or similar. be very very careful the edge of that panel is amazingly sharp

ok...got all the old carpet out without taking the dash all the way out...I got it out with the help of a utility blade and some anger-driven force



now I noticed that something was trying to hold it back under the center console where I could see...in the new carpet I can see there's a little plastic eyehole, and a cutout part of the carpet right at that part....what goes there? I'm gonna try my darndest to slip the new carpet in without having to take out the dash



man, like everything, I didn't think it was gonna be this difficult...

Baldy

after discussing it with my father, I might end up just slitting the new carpet up the middle and sliding it under the best I can...but i'd still like to know what's the restriction that's up under there

j9fd3s

its either the heater box or the bracket that holds the dash

Baldy

good to know....I think I'm gonna go ahead and slit it up the middle....any down side to that?

there shouldn't be any issuses with cutting it up the middle

Baldy

ok, I know you guys are prolly sick of this damned thread, but I'll update anyway



slit the carpet up the middle, got it in nicely...now I have to find time to reattach the dash and seats



oh, and every little piece that had a chance of breaking did, and I don't care...I'll just call it a sleeper...that never wakes up



feel free to lock this topic, I'm kinda sick of seeing it myself

j9fd3s

haha, i know what you mean
